 ==== Notable near-misses ====
   * At some point, I managed to delete all the LVM partitions on this server (gabriel.fangfufu.co.uk), when I was attempting to resize the partition. Luckily I managed to recover the LVM partition configuration from the backups from ''/etc/lvm/backup/''. Had I rebooted the server before recovering the configuration files, all data on this server would have been lost.
-  * There are also numerous occasions in which I managed to delete the whole partition, I ended up having to use TestDisk [([[http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk|TestDisk]])] to recover scan the whole hard disk to recover the partition table.

 ==== Gary's Bitcoin story ====
-  * When I was a third-year undergraduate at the University of York. Ian Gray told us that his friend (I believe the name is Gary?), managed to delete his Bitcoin wallet, which contained a significant amount of Bitcoin (in the range of £600 or $600). So he ended up writing a Python script to dredge his hard drive, to look for the signature of his Bitcoin wallet. This story was interesting, in the sense that I had learnt how to write a parser in my second year, and he could not have used existing software such as TestDisk to do that particular task, because none of the existing file recovery software had Bitcoin wallet's signature built in.

I suppose the point of this story is that I am not the only one who live dangerously.
